POST-APOCALYPTIC FICTION IN QUEBEC CITY
05October
Quebec City stands out in North American post‑apocalyptic fiction because its bilingual civic framework and reliance on hydroelectric power shape survival when infrastructure collapses. The harsh winter, sparse population, and St. Lawrence corridor turn the city into a fortress and trade hub. Warriors of the Last Days explores this setting through novels, novellas, and short stories.

14September
Alberta stands out as a post‑apocalyptic setting because its contrasts—modern cities, rugged Badlands, the Rockies, and vast wilderness—exist side by side. Writers exploit the province’s scale, industrial ruins, and expanses to craft stories where collapsed civilization meets untamed nature, as seen in Premee Mohamed’s novels, Dead Matter, and the Warriors of the Last Days series.

FIRST TWO YEARS COMPLETED
09July
Cold Storage's first draft is finished - the eighth novel, set in Dawson City under a strange purple aurora. With it, every novel scheduled for the series' first two years has a completed draft.
Stéphane Roy is a lifelong reader and writer with a deep love for science fiction, apocalyptic worlds, and tightly constructed mysteries. This is his first novel. He lives in the Yukon with his dog and his aquarium, where long winters, silence, and wide, sometimes glowing, skies leave plenty of room for imagining the end of the world, and what might come after it. He is also waiting, with cautious optimism, for the aliens to finally reveal themselves and straighten us all out.
